Law and Comics Tickets Now On Sale

Join us for this year’s Lindley Law & Comics lecture: Law & Comics Goes to Hollywood. Properties that started as comics or graphic novels have drawn huge audiences to the movies, including Batman, Iron Man, and the Avengers. Now, they are making their presence felt on television (Arrow, Gotham, Flash, Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow) and on streaming services (Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones). This does not even include earlier movies like Hellboy, Tank Girl, Ghost World, Scott Pilgrim, and the Mask. How do you protect your rights when you are dealing with comic publishers and Hollywood producers?

Join our 3 panelists as we explore this fascinating topic.
